America First, Last and Always!

On Monday, the Department of Justice announced that a federal grand jury has issued an 11-count indictment against Mark Lambert, co-founder of Transportation Logistics, Inc. The indictments are connected to the Uranium One deal and involve bribery, fraud and money laundering. TLI′s other co-founder, Daren Condrey, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and wire-fraud charges back in June of 2015. TLI provided transport to Russian-owned companies TENEX and Rosatom in moving uranium across the United States and Canada, and possibly to other countries, as well. The indictments against Lambert are the first as the DOJ reopens the Uranium One deal. Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as several other Obama administration officials, played a role in the Uranium One deal, which turned over about 20% of America′s uranium supply to Russia.

The indictments cover a range of charges made by the federal grand jury. Lambert is accused of allegedly bribing and making ′kickback′ payments to some off-shore banks and shell companies, connected to a Russian official, Vadim Mikerin. These bribes were to gain business with the Russian company, TENEX. Lambert is also accused of allegedly wiring the bribery payments to shell companies in Latvia, Cyprus and Switzerland. Mikerin was also arrested and charged in 2015, where he, like Condrey, pleaded guilty. Lambert was also charged with 7 counts of allegedly violating the Foreign Corruption Practices Act, FCPA,, as well as 1 count of conspiracy to violate the FCPA, 2 counts of wire-fraud and one count of international money laundering.

The Uranium One deal became a topic during the 2016 presidential elections due to the involvement of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Bill Clinton was permitted by the Obama administration to meet with officials of Russia′s nuclear ministry. Bill Clinton also gave a speech at a Moscow bank with ties to TENEX and Rosatom, for which he was paid $500,000. TENEX donated some $145 Million dollars to the Clinton Foundation before, during and after the negotiation and sale process of Uranium One to TENEX, which is owned by Rosatom, which is owned by the Russian government. Hillary Clinton was one of nine Obama administration officials who signed off on the sale, seven others of which have direct and or indirect ties to the Clinton Foundation.

Many of the cast of characters currently involved in the whole Trump-Russia probe were also involved in Uranium One. From the FBI, we have Robert Mueller, James Comey and Andrew McCabe, and from the DOJ, we have Rod Rosenstein. The FBI and DOJ investigated the Uranium One deal after another American businessman tipped them off to the bribery and other criminal activities. For about 4 years, this witness acted undercover, providing the FBI and DOJ with documents and recordings. The witness recently was freed from an Obama-era, DOJ gag order and is preparing to testify before Congress on the Uranium One deal. Reports are that what he will reveal may bring about further indictments, possibly even leading to Bill and Hillary Clinton.
